Hands-Free Camera Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The CamMe App Picks Up on Your Hand Gestures to Activate You Phone Camera

— March 7, 2014 — Social Media
It's often difficult to take a photo of yourself without looking like you are the photographer; to make it less obvious, download the CamMe, the hands free camera app that'll snap photos of you at a distance.

If you want to take a selfie or a group shot, the CamMe picks up your hand gestures to take perfect, timely photos of you, every time. The CamMe works up to 16 feet away from the subject, simply raise and close your hand to activate the cellphone camera.

The app has a bundle of other features like photo booth and fun scene options for you to jazz up your snapshots. With the CamMe app, you don't have to ask strangers to take group photos, and you especially don't have to pose like you just took a selfie -- they can look as natural as they're meant to be.
Trend Themes
1. Hands-free Photography - Hands-free photography will become more popular as people want to take perfect photos at a distance without a selfie stick or needing another person to take a photo.
2. Gesture Recognition - More apps and devices will incorporate gesture recognition technology as it makes operations more convenient and accessible.
3. Snapshots with AR Filters - There will be an increase in apps and devices that incorporate augmented reality filters for fun and creative snapshots.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Apps - Developers of smartphone apps can create new applications based on hands-free technology, and capitalize on the changing demands and preferences of users.
2. Camera & Photography Equipment - Camera and photography equipment manufacturers can incorporate gesture recognition technology to enhance their products and make them more user-friendly.
3. Social Media Platforms - Social media platforms can optimize their photo and video sharing features through the integration of augmented reality filters and hands-free technology.
